Genesis 23
1 Now Sarah lived to be 127 years old.
Sara sì pé ọmọ ọdún mẹ́tàdínláàádóje.
2 She died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went out to mourn and to weep for her.
Ó sì kú ní Kiriati-Arba (ìyẹn ní Hebroni) ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, Abrahamu lọ láti ṣọ̀fọ̀ àti láti sọkún nítorí Sara.
3 Then Abraham got up from beside his dead wife and said to the Hittites,
Abrahamu sì dìde lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ òkú aya rẹ̀, ó sì sọ fún àwọn ará Hiti wí pé,
4 “I am a foreigner and an outsider among you. Give me a burial site among you so that I can bury my dead.”
“Èmi jẹ́ àtìpó àti àlejò láàrín yín, ẹ ta ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú fún mi kí èmi le sin òkú tí ó kú fún mi sí.”
5 The Hittites replied to Abraham,
Àwọn ọmọ Hiti dá Abrahamu lóhùn pé,
6 “Listen to us, sir. You are God’s chosen one among us. Bury your dead in the finest of our tombs. None of us will withhold his tomb for burying your dead.”
“Olúwa mi, gbọ́ tiwa, ó jẹ́ alágbára ọmọ-aládé láàrín wa, sin òkú rẹ sí ibojì tí ó dára jù nínú àwọn ibojì wa, kò sí ẹni tí yóò fi ibojì rẹ dù ọ́ láti sin òkú rẹ sí.”
7 Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites.
Nígbà náà ni Abrahamu dìde, ó sì tẹríba níwájú àwọn ará ilẹ̀ náà, àwọn ará Hiti.
8 “If you are willing for me to bury my dead,” he said to them, “listen to me, and approach Ephron son of Zohar on my behalf
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Bí ó bá ṣe pé, lóòótọ́ ni ẹ fẹ́ kí n sin òkú mi kúrò nílẹ̀, ẹ gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ bá mi bẹ Efroni ọmọ Sohari,
9 to sell me the cave of Machpelah that belongs to him; it is at the end of his field. Let him sell it to me in your presence for full price, so that I may have a burial site.”
kí ó ta ihò àpáta Makpela tí ó jẹ́ tirẹ̀ fún mi, èyí tí ó wà ni orí oko rẹ̀, kí ó tà á fún mi ni iye owó tí à ń ta irú rẹ̀ fún ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú láàrín yín.”
10 Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth. So in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city, Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham,
Efroni ará Hiti sì wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, ó sì dá Abrahamu lóhùn lójú gbogbo àwọn ará ìlú tí ó wà níbẹ̀, lẹ́nu ibodè ìlú,
11 “No, my lord. Listen to me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. I give it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead.”
pé, “Rárá, olúwa mi. Gbọ́ tèmi; mo fún ọ ní ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà níbẹ̀. Mo fún ọ níwájú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mi. Sin òkú rẹ síbẹ̀.”
12 Again Abraham bowed down before the people of the land
Abrahamu sì tún tẹríba níwájú àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà,
13 and said to Ephron in their presence, “If you will please listen to me, I will pay you the price of the field. Accept it from me, so that I may bury my dead there.”
ó sì wí fún Efroni lójú gbogbo wọn pé, “Bí ìwọ bá fẹ́, gbọ́ tèmi, èmi yóò san owó ilẹ̀ náà, gbà á lọ́wọ́ mi kí n lè sin òkú mi síbẹ̀.”
14 Ephron answered Abraham,
Efroni sì dá Abrahamu lóhùn pé,
15 “Listen to me, my lord. The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver, but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead.”
“Gbọ́ tèmi Olúwa mi, irinwó òsùwọ̀n owó fàdákà ni ilẹ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n kín ni ìyẹn já mọ láàrín àwa méjèèjì? Sá à sin òkú rẹ.”
16 Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver, according to the standard of the merchants.
Abrahamu sì gbọ́ tí Efroni wí, Abrahamu sì wọn iye fàdákà náà fún Efroni, tí ó sọ ní etí àwọn ọmọ Hiti, irinwó òsùwọ̀n ṣékélì fàdákà, tí ó kọjá lọ́dọ̀ àwọn oníṣòwò.
17 So Ephron’s field at Machpelah near Mamre, the cave that was in it, and all the trees within the boundaries of the field were deeded over
Báyìí ni ilẹ̀ Efroni tí ó wà ni Makpela nítòsí Mamre, ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ àti gbogbo igi tí ó wà nínú ilẹ̀ náà ni a ṣe ètò rẹ̀ dájú,
18 to Abraham’s possession in the presence of all the Hittites who had come to the gate of his city.
bí ohun ìní fún Abrahamu níwájú gbogbo ará Hiti tí ó wá sí ẹnu ibodè ìlú náà.
19 After this, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field at Machpelah near Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Abrahamu sin aya rẹ̀ Sara sínú ihò àpáta ní ilẹ̀ Makpela nítòsí Mamre (tí í ṣe Hebroni) ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani.
20 So the field and its cave were deeded by the Hittites to Abraham as a burial site.
Ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ ni àwọn ará Hiti fi fún Abrahamu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ìní títí láé, bí ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú fún àwọn òkú tí ó bá kú fun un.
